A woman has been stabbed at Woodberry on Monday morning and another is in police custody.
Emergency services responded to Segenhoe St around 10am, with three ambulance crews and the Westpac Helicopter en route.
The 39-year-old woman suffered a single stab wound to the abdomen and a laceration to the head.
She has been airlifted to the John Hunter where she remains in a stable condition.
A 37-year-old woman, believed to be known to the victim, has been arrested.
NSW Ambulance Inspector Joel de Zuna says the patient was "incredibly lucky".
"Paramedics did a fantastic job in extricating the woman from the scene and taking her to the emergency medical team that had arrived on the helicopter," he said.
"The critical care doctor and paramedics worked to control the bleeding and stabilise the woman for transport to hospital."
"Stab wounds cause nasty injuries that can be challenging to treat due to the potential penetration of organs and blood vessels. This patient was incredibly lucky."
